Corruption is not only stealing, forging of certificate is corruption, lying under oath is also corruption. So stop fooling yaselves.

Some so-called intellectuals are becoming mentally innate.

1. The comment was a direct quote by the President in reference to a speech made by the Chief Justice of the federation.

2. Where I come from, a thief and a corrupt person is not the same so also is it in many parts of Nigeria.

We assume that Abomination is higher degree of Sin hence the Abominable needs to be ostracised.

3. In communication (syntax and semantic), the understanding of the recipient is/should be the target of the speaker to avoid defeating the purpose of the information delivered.

Let's stop flogging the dead horse. There is no mis-communication in the explanation of the President rather what we have are bunch of hate mongers who not only show their stupidity in attacking everything the President represents as a manifestations of the absolute resentment and antagonism.

[b]Ngwakwe, I beg to disagree with your assertion. I wouldn't have responded to your post if the syntax/semantic ish never came up.

What is Synatx: In a layman's definition, it refers to a branch of linguistics which governs the rule of language language

What is Semantics: It's also a branch of linguistics which refers to meaning in respect to symbols, words, phrases and what they mean.

Having clarified these two branches of linguistics, it would therefore be right to say your inclusion of Syntax in the discourse is flawed since the utterance of the President does not beg for linguistic analysis.

Therefore, a thief in EVERY part of the world is as a result of corrupt/soiled/perverted upbringing/personal conviction. Hence, your assertion of where you come from is again not accepted.

That someone sins in Christendom is the same as committing an abomination before God. And that would imply that for you to do something abominable means that you have flouted (sinned or gone contrary to) the set rules of the land, which again makes the two the same.

In your quest to defend the President, it would also be right to say that the President lacks the will to communicate effectively. Hence, the infamous quote you're trying to defend is 'Pragmatically' and 'Stylistics' interpreted, rather than depend on other part of the text/discourse for meaning.

What then is Pragmatics: This is a branch of linguistics which studies how CONTEXTS contribute to meaning or how a language is used in a CONTEXT.

And Stylistics? This deals with the study of texts/speech/utterance in regard to their tonal style


The concept of communication in this regard is well established and one would not need to put bits and pieces together to understand what the President means. While we're trying to create further argument between bad and evil, please note that another infamous phrase of the President; "How much did Jim Nwobodo stole?" is also to further expatiate that the President is a man of corrupt values, morals and would still go on to defend this shameful claim of his at the international scene if given a chance. I spent 4 years studying the branches of linguistics and would gladly analyze every speech of the President to prove my claim.

Abeg, let's enjoy politics [/b]

PassingShot:
I've said it before that trying to distinguish between stealing and corruption especially in the situation we find ourselves in Nigeria is a senseless thing to do. GEJ is not only corrupt but also a thief.

The worst of his utterances is the one on Nwobodo: "How much did Nwobodo stole that Buhari jailed him?".

And asking people openly during a presidential campaign if they like to go to jail is another evidence that our president is unapologetically and shamelessly corrupt.

Kedam:
when u talk about corruption either of them is an exception. Gud Buhari had a war against corruption. The most known was those who embezzled the public fund because their act was well known then and he was a dictator without limited power. All other form of corruption still exist then. Buhari's power is limited whatever he does he will play politics which can never be prevented, expecting something perfect from him is just a dream ( keep dreaming). Speaking about stealing isn't corruption he said a judge ones explained that to him. Even some laws work in a way we don't expect. I once listen to a programme while a judge was interviewed. She was asked about why those people with lesser offence were punished than those in govt who Embezzled billions. She said their is a law that once the culprit is able to return part of the money if not all they are let go after some agreement Is reached. I just hope the best win. If GMB win the election I think their will be something to learn from him either positive or negative.

Can you categorically tell me that some one who use your memory card with your consent & got it corrupt is the same thing with some one who stole your memory storage card without your consent?

English is English world wide,

My memory card got corrupted is different from my memory card got stolen! I don't need any lawyer to interpret that to me.

Wow! In your mind you've made a point

Corrupt in the case of your memory card would mean your memory card has been damaged or has been altered unintentionally.

Corrupt in the case of a public official would mean perversion, compromising moral values, judgements/standard.

You memory card is corrupt (verb)

A man is corrupt (adjective)

I hope you understand now.

Explain Proverb 6:16
There are six things which God hates;
yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

Mr President is 100% correct. It's only hate mongers blinded by absolute antagonism that can point at holes in his explanations in relation to the understanding of most people in Nigeria

Whats are they talking about, go to your Dictionary type corruption, text your answer here and check out Stealing too


Stealing is part of corruption but is not actually the direct meaning of corruption.


One important thing to note in his explanation is that Nobody actually said that he said "stealing is good".

Funny! We've had this man preaching transformation with us for how many years He keeps preaching transformation when the only obvious thing being transformed is their local and foreign bank accounts. Transformation ko, transformer ni.

minister2015:
GEJ has finally legalized corruption, stealing is not corruption. This guy is a disgrace to his forebears! utterly corrupt. PDP: Poverty & Death Party, better still Poverty Development Party!
PVC: Pertinent-to Vote-out Cluelessness!!!
